CNBC's Rick Santelli blasts anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin over lockdowns
A shouting match on CNBC went viral on Friday after on-air editor Rick Santelli and "Squawk Box" co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin engaged in an intense exchange over the ongoing coronavirus lockdowns. The fiery debate began when Santelli addressed the growing list of Democratic leaders who have been caught breaking their own guidelines as part of efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, but stressed that he wasn't focusing on the "hypocrisy" and instead pointing out that these "intelligent people" clearly believe it's safe enough for them and their families to dine out at restaurants.
